, requiring all students, regardlessof major, to take courses in a variety of subject areas. These general education courses are oftenconsidered by engineering students to be unrelated to their chosen profession and are thereforeseen merely as hoops to be jumped through on the way to graduation. However, these coursesmake up a significant percentage of students’ overall credit requirements, and represent a mostlyuntapped opportunity to meaningfully incorporate the global and societal context required byABET into an engineering degree program. By partnering with the humanities and social sciencefaculty who teach these distribution requirements, engineering programs have an opportunity toreclaim this portion of the university experience, making it a

Since these were graduate level courses and thestudents had aspirations in the field, it was important for them to really build a sense ofconnectedness that they could take beyond the class and school into their professional settings.With that in mind, the team chose a tool called VoiceThread. This tool allows students to havediscussions around media (in this case - PowerPoint slides) with questions on them. It alsoallowed students to respond by text entry, audio (via telephone, audio - telephone or microphone)or video. Students were encouraged to use the video option and many did.
